Description

Right now the particular test

test_get_netcdf_variable_names

takes forever and a day due to the use of urlretrieve within the class setUp function. This retrieves the same netCDF file from zipper.jpl.nasa.gov on every test within the test_get_netcdf_variable_names function which is a waste of time and resources. If anything, I would be +1 for having a small netCDF file contained within the OCW test directory. This would speed up the tests much more.
